“The Jade Robot is a robot unlike any that I have seen on the market. It seems virtually indestructible, comes already put together and spans our continuum of coding languages we encourage in the classroom
- from button to block to code.”

Mistene Clapp, Connected Technology Teacher

“There are many benefits to the Jade Robot over other robots in that there is no assembly required, it comes with its own charger, can be used for multiple ages and is built to withstand being used by

about us

Mimetics started as a volunteer activity at the Ontario Science Centre in 2001 and has worked with over 20,000 students in a wide variety of settings. In our programs, we see amazing changes in how students see science & technology
as well as their own futures.

Founder Myke Predko built his first robot in Grade 8 – a wall follower made from toy parts held together by glue and rubber bands. The skills and confidence gained from this provided the foundation for his successes in life. Myke sees
robotics as a “superset technology” – the integration of different technologies along with some creativity resulting in something to be proud of.
